of hydropower development and 

electric power generation at Bluestone 

Dam and the affected environment are 

urged to participate in this NEPA 

environmental analysis process. 

Assistance will be provided upon 

request to anyone having difficulty. 

c. Public comments are welcomed 

anytime throughout the NEPA process. 

Formal opportunities for public 

participation include: (1) Public 

meetings to be held near the community 

of Hinton; (2) Anytime during the NEPA 

process via mail, telephone or e-mail: 

(3) During Review and Comment on the 

Draft EIS (DEIS)—approximately late 

Summer 2007; and (4) Review of the 

Final EIS (FEIS)—Winter 2007/2008. 

Schedules and locations will be 

announced in local news media. 

Interested parties may also request to be 

included on the mailing list for public 

distribution of meeting announcements 

and documents (see ADDRESSES). 

d. To ensure that all issues related to 

the proposed project are approximately 

addressed, the Corps invites input from 

interested agencies, local and regional 

stakeholders and the general public to 

assist in identifying areas of concern, 

issues and impacts to be addressed in 

the EIS, and the alternatives that should 

be analyzed. Scoping for the DEIS will 

continue to build upon the knowledge 

and information developed during the 

more than 50 years of Corps of Engineer 

operation of the Bluestone Dam. 

2. Background: a. The Bluestone Lake 

project is located in southern West 

Virginia, with the uppermost reaches of 

the lake extending into Virginia. 

Bluestone Dam is on the New River at 

Hinton, WV. Authorized in the 1935 

and 1938 Flood Control Acts (FCAs) for 

flood control and hydropower, the 

Bluestone Lake project was completed 

in 1949. As the first of four authorized 

reservoirs in the Kanawha River Basin, 

Bluestone is operated for flood control. 

During construction hydropower 

development at Bluestone was delayed 

until other basin flood control projects 

could be constructed, with penstocks 

incorporated to permit future power 

facilities installation. Two of the three 

planned projects (Sutton and 

Summerville Lakes) have been 

constructed and the third was deauthorized. The Bluestone project was 

designed to operate at a normal summer 

pool elevation of 1490 feet and 

maximum flood control pool elevation 

of 1520 feet; 40 percent of the active 

storage was planned for flood control 

and almost 60 percent for hydropower. 

Current operations maintain the 

summer pool at 1410, with maximum 

flood control pool at 1520 and 97 

percent of the active storage for flood 

control. The 1944 FCA authorized the 

Secretary of the Army to permit 

recreation development at water 

resources projects, and during the 1950s 

and in 1970 project operations at 

Bluestone were changed to provide a 

conservation pool that allowed lake 

recreation. Section 6 of the 1988 Water 

Resources Development Act added 

recreation and downstream recreation as 

project purposes at Bluestone Lake. 

b. Section 547 of Water Resources 

Development Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–

541) authorized the Tri-Cities Power 

Authority to construct hydroelectric 

generating facilities at the Bluestone 

dam. ‘‘Tri-Cities Power Authority ’’

(TCPA) refers to the entity established 

by the City of Hinton, WV, the City of 

White Sulphur Springs, WV, and the 

City of Philippi, WV, pursuant to a 

document entitled ‘‘Second Amended 

and Restated Intergovernmental 

Agreement’’ approved by the Attorney 

General of West Virginia on February 

14, 2002. Further, this act directs the 

Secretary of the Army to enter into a 

binding agreement with the Secretary of 

Energy and TCPA to accomplish 

construction of the project. 

c. Section 122 of the Energy and 

Water Development Appropriations Act, 

2006 (Pub. L. 109–103) amended the 

aforementioned legislation. These 

amendments include the designation of 

TCPA as the owner and operator of said 

hydropower project. Further, section 

122 removed hydroelectric power as an 

authorized project purpose ‘‘so long as 

Tri-Cities Power Authority continues to 

exercise its responsibilities as he 

builder, owner, and operator of the 

hydropower facilities at Bluestone 

Dam.’’ In addition, this legislation 

focused the approval that the Secretary 

of the Army must exercise for the 

proposed project, which is ‘‘to review 

the design and construction activities 

for all features of the hydroelectric 

project that pertain to and affect 

stability of the dam and control the 

release of water from Bluestone Dam to 

ensure that the quality of construction 

of those features meets all standards 

established for similar facilities 

constructed by the Secretary.’’

d. Reasonable alternatives for 

hydropower development are limited to 

those which will provide profitable 

power generation, meet established 

design criteria with respect to stability 

of the dam, do not significantly affect 

other Bluestone Lake project purposes 

as related to flow, and are 

environmentally acceptable. Only one 

physical hydropower facility design has 

been found feasible by TCPA. No 

changes to pool elevations are proposed. 

e. The proposed hydropower facility 

would utilize up to 9000 cubic feet per 

second (cfs) of flow. Under current 

operating procedures for the dam, a 

minimum discharge of 610 cfs is 

maintained. The alternatives to be 

considered in the EIS are those which 

evaluate various discharges through the 

stilling basin of the dam, including 

providing all flow up to 9000 cfs 

through the hydropower facility. In 

addition, the no-action alternative will 

be evaluated. As necessary, any 

reasonable alternatives that may become 

apparent as the evaluation process will 

be addressed. 

3. Cooperating Agencies: a. At this 

time, no other federal, state, or local 

agencies are expected to be cooperating 

agencies in preparation of this EIS. 

However, numerous federal and state 

agencies, including the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region III, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Elkins West Virginia Field 

Office, Department of Interior National 

Park Service, West Virginia Department 

of Environmental Protection, and the 

West Virginia Division of Wildlife, are 

expected to be involved in this process. 

4. Additional Information and 

Review: a. Compliance with other 

federal and state requirements that will 

be addressed in the EIS include, but will 

not be limited to, State Water Quality 

Certification under section 401 of the 

Clean Water Act, West Virginia 

Pollution Discharge Elimination System 

section 402 permit, section 7 of the 

Endangered Species Act, the Fish and 

Wildlife Coordination Act and section 

106 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act. 

5. Availability of the Draft: a. The 

draft EIS is projected to be available late 

Summer 2007. A formal public hearing 

will be conducted following release of 

the Draft EIS.
